“Daniil.”
He watched my face while his fingers moved. His other hand closed over my breast, his thumb and forefinger pinching my nipple, and I gasped.
The pleasure gathered steadily. I reached up and caught the headboard, needing something to hold while he moved inside me. His rhythm quickened. My thighs shook, and I felt him falter before he steadied himself again.
He was close too.
“Don’t stop,” I said. “Please, don’t stop.”
He didn’t. His fingers kept their rhythm, his cock moved in my ass, and his mouth found my neck. I could feel the orgasm coming and had no room left for anything except him.
It moved through me slowly at first, then with a force that took my breath. I cried out, my body contracting around him, and his rhythm broke. He groaned against my neck and came, holding me close while we shook together.
I let go of the headboard and put both arms around him.
For a while, neither of us moved.
I could feel his heart against my chest. His breath was hot on my neck, his hair damp beneath my fingers. I held him until he could lift his head, then kissed his forehead.
“Wow,” I whispered.
He laughed weakly.
“Wow is right.”
He withdrew carefully, watching my face, and settled beside me. I rolled toward him at once. His arm went around my back.
“All right?” he asked.
“Very.”
He brushed the hair away from my cheek.
“Should I be worried that you’ve stopped arguing?”
“I’ve temporarily lost most of my vocabulary. Don’t get used to it.”
His smile spread slowly. I touched it with my thumb.
“You?” I asked.
“Much the same.”
I kissed him. There was no hurry left in either of us.
Eventually he went to the bathroom and came back with a warm cloth. He helped me clean up, then brought water and pulled the covers over us. I took a drink and passed him the glass.
“You too.”
He obeyed, which I found enormously satisfying.
“What?” he asked over the rim.
“Nothing. Keep drinking.”
He shook his head, finished the water and set the glass down. When he lay back, I tucked myself against him with my cheek on his chest.
His hand moved slowly along my back.
